Shoe Porn: Me and My Mary Jane

Nov 10.10 / Lindsay

No matter how hard I try, who I talk to, how long I wait – I can’t quit you, Mary Jane. There was a song from my early teens that used to play on KNDD 107.7 (only the best Seattle station EVER – in the 90′s) by Stone Temple Pilots called, ahem… “Wet My Bed”. [...]

Solid Scented

Oct 28.10 / Lindsay

I cannot believe that perfume is so expensive. I bought my first bottle of perfume two years ago with a Macy’s gift card – it was my all-time favorite campaign, Diesel’s Fuel For Life. After a few catastrophic and intense life events (and a post with amazing reader insight), I decided… it was time for [...]

My First Holiday-Related Post Will Be Good.

Nov 12.09 / Lindsay

I’ve decided, because it’s November now, that you’re probably all thinking about Christmas. Yes, I decided what you were thinking, so to speak. I am that powerful. So I figured hey – why not throw up a holiday-related post for the kids? Oh, that’s right. Because I hate the idea of making you feel like [...]

There IS a difference…

Apr 07.09 / Lindsay

Sometimes, I’ll get emails from people about this site, complaining about the prices of the garments I feature on the blog. It’s not “broke” enough for a lot of people and, honestly, I’m okay with that. There are tons of blogs that’ll show you designer knockoffs (recognizing that they’re knockoffs), $5 shirts, PVC/plastic shoes, etc… [...]

Fall’s Biggest Trends for under $50!

Oct 05.08 / Lindsay

As a result of the Skribit suggestion, I’m producing a post full of delicious steals based on the biggest trends in fall. “Your posts are more and more expensive…pieces that are under 40$?” – Anonymous I emphasize the word trend because, as these pieces are so inexpensive, their quality will also not be the same [...]

SHAPE Magazine Offers Advice on… Shoes?

Sep 29.08 / Lindsay

Most people don’t regard Shape Magazine as a “fashion foward” magazine… But you’d be surprised as the number of amazing tips they give you through their section titled “Look Great”! In this month’s issue, Shape’s monthly “Fashion Workbook” offers up The Shoes You NEED In Your Closet.  Unfortunately, only two examples out of their six [...]

OFD: Doll Face

Sep 22.08 / Lindsay

OFD stands for Outfits for Days. The premise is similar to that of a magazine feature where several garments are used to show how many unique outfits can be made without spending a load on new clothing. Typically, 7-10 pieces are included with 4-6 accessories, and we see how many getups we can make without [...]
